(Phone rings)
Adi : "Hello!"
Neha : "Hi Adi, where are you?"
Adi : "Abhi nikla hun office se, just on the way."
Neha : "Can you please pick me up? The car is out of order."
Adi : "Sure my Love, coming.. 10 mins mein."
Neha : "Yup, I'm waiting in the parking area."
Adi : "Okay"
Adi reaches her office.
Opens the door for his lady.
With a blushing face, she comes forward and thanks him.
She was about to sit, a voice came from behind, "Hey Neha!".
Adi mumbles, "God knows, peaceful days pe evils kaha se tapak padte hai!!"
It was Samarth Agarwal (Sam), Neha's former colleague and was one from her office friends' team.
Neha replied, "Hi Samarth!"
Sam : "Hi, Mr Aditya"
Adi, faking a smile, "Hello".
Sam : "So, how are you Neha?"
Neha : "Good, How's you? And where are you working nowadays?"
Sam : "All good. Currently working for V.P Internationals and I have switched to UI/UX."
Neha : "That's great."
Sam : "Acha hua ki tum yahin mil gai, I was already going to invite you on the phone."
Neha : "For what?"
Sam : "I'm organizing an office reunion. I have been thinking of planning it since a long time and now, when everyone has luckily got time, let our entire old colleagues' team have a catch up again. I am heartily inviting you too, please make sure that you come."
Adi says (denying him), "Sorry Sam! She won't be able to.."
Neha continues (interrupting Adi), "Sure Sam, I will definitely be joining."
Sam : "Great then, I'll let you know the venue and the timings."
Neha : "Ok sure."
They parted.
Adi and Neha got into the car.
Today, something was deliberately skipped by Adi.
Usually, whenever they used to meet after office hours, coming back to home, Adi would unforgettably offer a sweet peck on her cheek, with an excuse of tying her seatbelt. ;)
But today, he did not do so.
He started driving, she tied it by herself, clearly knowing his reason for doing so. The car was at a much higher speed than usual, which showed his anger. Everything was being noticed by Neha and she was smiling seeing how loveable his husband was looking when jealous.
Neha (teasing him more) : "To main jaun na Adi.. Sam ke reunion me?"
Adi (with a khadoos look) : "Hm, sure."
She controlled her upcoming giggles but at the same time, obeyed the limits of irritating him. Throughout the journey to the home, she did not want to look out of the window today, her eyes were stuck at him as his Mr. Kukkad version was so lovely.
They reached home, he threw his keys on the table instead of hanging them.
Later, after dinner, when Adi was working on his desk, he suddenly felt Neha's arms wrapping around his shoulders trying to hug him from behind.
"Koi abhi tak gussa hai?", she whispered.
Adi was silent.
Neha : "Really sorry, Adi. I was teasing you."
Adi : "Hm"
Neha : "Sorry na.. Please"
Both froze and there was silence for a few seconds.
Adi (looking at her) : "You know na..what his intentions are! Us din bhi kaise chipak kar project discuss kar raha tha. Man to kar raha tha ki usko building se hi bahar uthake phek dun. "
"Aur aaj, How the hell was he staring at you, constantly!! Tumhara office tha to I controlled myself, varna to I would have killed him there."
Neha (teasingly) : "Bas baba bas. Itni jealousy? Mere liye itna pyaar, Adi?"
Adi (pointing his finger) : "Don't change the topic, Neha."
Neha (smiles) : "Adi, I know how he is and you too know it well that I never let him/anyone cross the limits. I wanted to just irritate you a bit."
In the meantime, he got up and stood near the bookshelf. A nearby glass lamp on the wall was flickering and while finding his book from the shelf, he was noticing that.
He continued, "Nai Nai, tum jao na uske saath office reunion mein. Usne 'heartily' invite kiya hain na. Please go. (Anger rises) And let him take your advantage too."
Neha, coming towards him, gets a little furious, "What? Shut up ok!!"
"And listen, kahin nahin jaa rahi thi main, Sam ko usi vakt mana kar diya tha maine. And Mr. Kukkad, don't you dare to speak that sentence again. I'm only and only YOURS. Aaye bade advantage wale.. Huh!!"
Meanwhile, he was standing in front of her, folding his arms, observing his wife scolding him that she is only HIS and a smile appeared on his face but he quickly hid it. Back to the angry look!!
She turned around to go and switch the lights off to sleep but before she passed near the lamp, he quickly pulled her. And SMASH!! The flickering glass lamp finally fell down and broke and she was saved.
Adi's timings are always perfect.
His hands were tightly wrapped around her. He was now cooled down but was not showing it on his face. His eyes were gazing at her face.
Her eyes met his and she again apologized, "Maaf kardo na please..?"
Adi : "Only if you take a day off from the office, tomorrow."
Her face brightened.
Neha : "Umm.. Ok Done!"
Adi grinned.
Neha : "(hugging him) Love you, Adi!"
Adi : "I too, Mrs. Wifie!"
Putting her hands on his shoulders, she demands, "By the way, Mr. Husband, where is my seatbelt kiss??"
Adi (blushes) : "Here you go, Madam!!"
And this was the loving story of these two teddy bears. ;)
